Abstract
Many research efforts focus on the definition of models and techniques to simulate and predict the reaction of individuals face to an information. In this context, great benefits could derive from the exploitation of individual?s personality and cultural values in the diffusion model process. In this paper we describe a new architecture for agent-based model using the DEVS (Discrete EVent System Specification) framework and show how this architecture is flexible and can serve to simulate the dissemination process. In more details, we define a set of models of individuals characterized by a set of state variables to represent the behavior of an individual and the mesh between the individuals within a multi-layer social network. Then, we introduce the platform architecture, specifically designed to simulate message propagation in a multi- layer network. In the end, a military scenario of message diffusion during a stabilization phase is used to test our DEVS models on the platform and the relevancy of the simulation results.
